If, like me, you prefer your poems with a dash of vinegar and a smidgeon of darkness, then you could do a lot worse than buy twelveteen copies of Geoffrey McSkimming's ripping new collection of verses; 'Ogre In A Toga' illustrated by ME! Yes, not only do you get Geoffrey's tip top antipodean take on everything from prodding walruses (don't, seems to be the best thing on the whole) to eyebrow training, you also get my stunning wonderfulness in pencil form. What a bargain!
